Problems with Windows 10 1703 Upgrade
Several symptom:
1) Nothing down the left side of the start menu stays open. If I click on the power button it flashes the options and closes. User flashes options and closes.
2) Action center on the complete other side of the task bar flashes the notifications and closes right away.
3) Wireless network selector same thing. Displays available wireless networks and closes right away.
4) Cortana search window flickers and I have to press a key two or three times until it finally shows up in the search window.
I have 20-30 computers doing this. All of them started after the upgrade to 1703. New profile doesn't do anything different. Repair install (reset) doesn't do anything different. These are different computer at different customers. Desktops and Laptops. About the only thing they have in common is that they were all upgraded from WIndows 7. The original 1511 worked fine. Upgrade to 1603? worked fine. Everything fell apart with the upgrade to 1703.

As I mentioned above the permanent fix is to do a fresh install but that is not the question. That is the easy (and expensive) way out. I am looking for a reason and a fix.

I was looking at the CPU usage just yesterday. Sat there and clicked on Action Center to watch it open and immediately close. Did it 100 times really fast. Nothing showed up as out of the ordinary. Just did a "Net stop WPNUserService" and it said it was not running. The registry already has it set to disabled.

Have ran the gambit. Tried DSIM repair, disabled/changed virus software, you name it. It is a very prevalent issue if you Google it. Just no fixes. I'll try it again in another six months....
Maybe post another question when you try again. Thanks.

Well guys persistence paid off. Finally Googled enough and found an answer that worked. For me it was short and sweet. Uninstall Office 2003.
Office 2003 is dead . No wonder it screwed up Windows 10 . Legacy software does that

There is one other thing most of these have in common. They are 32-bit Windows. I'll pick on the Optiplex 3020 again. They started out having a lock up issue with the video driver. That prompted putting in Radeon HD 6450 cards but it isn't just the Optiplex 3020. There are Optiplex 3010, Vostro 260 and several laptops.
The permanent fix is to fresh install WIndows 10 64-bit. All initially worked well with the 1511 upgrade. Still worked well with the 1607 upgrade then along came 1703....
